(v) Elite Sporting Facility at the AIS Canberra The specialised 50m training pool was designed with the latest of camera systems, force plate systems, tension tie systems, with a specialised water treatment system that included precoat DE filtration and a reverse osmosis system to increase water clarity and reduce TDS to give transparent water of exceptional clarity for camera studies of swimmers in action.

In addition a specialised muscle group spa system, river exercise, and cold plunge pool and cold river walk pool was designed also using precoat DE filtration and UV. These systems are currently the best in the world and designed to aid recovery. The huge cloverleaf spa has thigh ankle and leg jet systems, a water tree for neck and shoulder massage and a high force spa for back and leg massage with a graduated seat height to suit swimmer height and contoured floor and hand holds to prevent the spa user from being pushed out of the spa.

(iii) Olympic Aquatic Centre Sydney for the 2000 Olympic Games - Water Treatment Upgrade. GNFP were engaged a year before the Olympic Games to report on the existing 5 year old plant. This was found to be failing and would not last through the games. Water quality was not up to FINA requirements.

GNFP removed the entire plant for all pools and spas and redesigned new plant with a unique revolutionary new system comprising:-

Precoat diatomaceous earth filtration

Slip stream ozone chlorine sanitization

Activated carbon secondary filtration This gave exceptionally clean water that exceeded FINA quality and was the best quality water for any Olympics. It gave very fast water that enabled athletes to excel in world records. The system minimises backwash water loss and prevents spread of cryptosporidium and giardia by their destruction and removal. In addition, our report found problems with the tile systems to the pools which are now in the process of being replaced.

Pools include: • Olympic diving and utility pool to FINA

Olympic 51.5m pool to FINA

Olympic 50m training pool to FINA

Large leisure pool

Spas

Warm up diving spa
